2004 Martin Custom Shop HD-28 Natural
No sales tax for customers outside California.
Just arrived from the original owner, this 2004 Martin Custom Shop HD-28 with a really nice upgraded case. The wide, 1 3/4" nut is a nice add too. The original paperwork is included.
This guitar sounds amazing, acoustically, but if you need to plug in there is a K&K pickup installed under the bridge.
The guitar has been played a bit but was well cared for. At first glance it looks pretty much mint, though the frets show light, even use. There is a a small ding here and there, noticeable only on close inspection. There are no cracks or issues, the neck angle is perfect, the action too, and the saddle is tall.
This 2004 Martin Custom Shop HD-28 is a premium dreadnought built to deliver exceptional tone and craftsmanship. Featuring a hand-selected Adirondack spruce top, scalloped X-bracing, and East Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar produces powerful projection, rich overtones, and vintage-inspired clarity perfect for bluegrass, fingerstyle, and singer-songwriters alike.
Crafted by Martin’s elite Custom Shop team, this HD-28 combines the golden-era specs of the classic pre-war dreadnoughts with modern playability. The neck has a comfortable low-profile shape with a 1-3/4" nut width, and the ebony fretboard ensures smooth, fast response. This instrument has opened up beautifully over the years, offering the kind of resonance and depth that only a well-cared-for Martin can provide.
